Wealth-platform advisor-assist program
Compliance can veto; the field advisor council decides whether it's ever used.

Stakeholder & Sponsor Cockpit
Context
An advisor-assist and research-synthesis platform for a wealth-management business. Compliance holds a suitability/records veto, and the field advisor council — thousands of advisors — decides adoption in practice. Both must be aligned, and they pull in different directions.
The decision
Compliance veto vs. field adoption: the Chief Compliance Officer can block on suitability and records, while the advisor council can silently refuse — the program needs the control CCO wants and the workflow advisors will actually use.
What most miss
Programs court the executive sponsor and under-invest in the field council, then wonder why adoption stalls. In advisor platforms, the field's informal veto is as real as compliance's formal one.
Stakes
Skip compliance and the platform is shut down at review; skip the field council and it's built, launched, and ignored.
